chapter 2

The next morning, Professor Mcgonagall woke up much earlier than was strictly necessary to teach classes. She couldn't help it. She ran through all the lesson plans in her head as she went down to breakfast. When she entered the Great Hall, she was surprised to see Dumbledore already there eating along with Professor Sprout, Professor Snape, Professor Slughorn, and about twenty students each from every house.

Mcgonagall approached the seat next to Dumbledore and sat down(which was rightfully hers because she was the Deputy Headmistress).

"I did not know that old men can get up for breakfast so early!" said Professor Mcgonagall to Dumbledore.

"Neither did I; I was quite astonished to find me down here at this hour myself!" said Dumbledore smiling radiantly.

"I'm quite envious of those blue eyes!" thought Mcgonagall. But then she stopped herself. She was not going to fall in love with this old man! She then noticed Dumbledore's black and withered hand. As much as she didn't want to fall in love again, his hand pained her. She stayed quiet throughout the rest of breakfast.

Mcgonagall went up to the classroom as soon as she was finished with breakfast."Today is going to be exciting but a rerun of the year before and the year before!" she thought. "All well...the students aren't that bad..."

Comforted by the thought, she waited for the 6th year Gryffindor students to arrive for the first class.

About twenty minutes later, students filed in slowly to their seats (with the exception of Hermione Granger, of course. She had practically ran to her seat because she was so worried that she was going to be late).Among all those students the one that stood out the most was Harry Potter. With the lightning shaped scar on his forehead, a bunch of black, lanky, hair, and green eyes that were his mother's, he probably was the most distinguished person in the school.

The assignment today was a review on changing birds into rodents. Hermione Granger (a bushy haired girl who, bless her, knew every answer to nearly every question) was the first in the class to make her bird turn completely into a rodent.

"Ten points to Gryffindor," said Mcgonagall curtly then added,"for the rest of you, homework!"

Although she could not hear them, Mcgonagall could sense all the groans from the students that they were holding back, for she had given homework on the first day! Mcgonagall smirked to herself then saw Neville's face. He looked sad because no matter how hard he tried, he could not get that bird to change into a rodent.

"Professor Snape must have something to do with that boy's confidence," thought Mcgonagall. Snape had after all, yelled at Neville last year at least 4 times a day just last year alone! "I will try to not be too hard on him this year," thought Mcgonagall fervently.
